Masquerade/Cosplay at ConAdian

From Kevin Standlee, video of the masquerade at ConAdian, the World Con in Winnipeg which many MonSFFen attended.  It was recorded by Sylvain St-Pierre.  –CPL

Lisa Hayes found the VHS video tape of the 1994 Worldcon Masquerade buried in one of my many boxes, digitized it, and I’ve uploaded it to the Worldcon Events YouTube channel.

Unfortunately, the last part of the credits didn’t make it onto the 2 hour VHS tape. Also, due to YouTube copyright reasons, there is at least one entry that has its sound muted.

Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested in this piece of Worldcon and costuming history.

Our community is a thriving one, and we welcome everyone to join us, share their ideas and celebrate the UK’s ongoing love of science fiction and fantasy.

We will start taking pre-supports during Dublin 2019, where we will have a formal launch party (we say formal, but there will be dancing!).
